sure the chopper is dated-looking, but if you think about the engineering marvel that it was(on-screen) pretty f-en fantastic and futuristic.
If I were to do a new Airwolf, it wouldn't have rotors, but be something based on the F-117 but with VTOL capability.

Airwolf itself is still the best looking chopper ever imo, and it looks more futuristic than say the new Eurocopters they have around now for example. The 222 was way ahead of its time.
Did you engage hostiles? I vaporized hostiles.
